Immutable Anchor

 Heb. 6:19
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, (immutable) and which entereth into that within the veil.

“Upon life’s boundless ocean where mighty billows roll, I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus, blest anchor of my soul; When trials fierce assail me as storms are gathering o’er, I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.”~ Lewis E Jones. In times when life is overwhelming, and we find ourselves going through trials and tribulations, we trust in God who is immutable. He is sure and steadfast, unchangeable in His promise to bring us through the storms we may be facing. There are seasons in our life where the storms are more fierce than other days. Life in general is often filled with mini storms that cause our lifeboat to rock back and forth. We throw down our anchor and wait on God, who tells us to hold on, stay calm, don’t stress, I have this under control. We face problems that we don’t have an answer to, but God knows exactly where we are and what we are going through. Even the everyday cares of life can be challenging. It may be a work situation, financial dilemma, or just the stress of fulfilling our responsibilities. We need to anchor our faith. Let the anchor down into the Rock of ages and believe God to do what is best. All things work together for good to those who love Him and submit to His will and purpose. When we cast our anchor, we can trust God that the storm will not hurt us. We will not be overcome by the fierce billows that surround us. God’s immutable promise, the anchor will hold, and He will keep us and guide us through the storm. 

Anchor of the Soul

Heb. 6:19.20 “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil, where the Forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, who is made a high priest forever...”- 

The future is so uncertain. Things change from one day to the next and sometimes those changes can be big. But in the midst of change, we serve a God who does not change. His promises are forever true and He stands by His word. We can anchor our trust in the One who is steadfast and dependable. Jesus, the one that is constant and true, He changes not, He is the same today, yesterday, and forevermore. When the circumstances around us swift and change with the blowing wind, His love and care is consistent. He will not let us become shipwreck in the storm of change. “Our hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus Christ and His righteousness.” “We have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast, and sure as the billows roll.” He is unchangeable, He is our hope when all else fails. Yes, the world seems to be headed toward self destruction, leaving God out of it’s plans, but for those who have anchor in Him, we can believe that there is a better tomorrow. Because He lives and is the anchor of our soul, we can look to the future and know that God will be there every step of the way.
